Hello,

my Instagram went from 900 to 7,600 followers within the last 30 days. Also more than 1Mil views and very good engagement.
Audience is almost 70% USA. So far so good.

Anyway, for my stories only get around 100 views per story. Which is only 1.5% of my followers. How do I boost these stories?



Best regards

Stories always get less engagement then posts. One thing you can do is look at your analytics to see when you are follower base is most active and time your story posts up with that

That surely warrants a look on what you're posting on posts vs what in your stories.
Clearly people are not paying much attention to what you're posting in your stories.

Story views depends on how many of your followers are active and actually clicking on. For this you can use thumbnail or cover so that people feel curious to watch it. I think it will help?
 
Sounds like you don't engage with your followers or you're not consistent.

Curious to know your post stats
 
Rapid growth can mess with the usual story to follower ratio. I’d experiment with more interactive stories and see which ones actually pull people back in.
 
Give people a reason to actually open your stories. Tease something in a Reel and tell them the rest is in your story.
 
You need to put in the captions and reels to watch your stories, Engage with your audience via comments and DMs, When you do this instagram makes your account familiar to them and your stories come first in line in their feed, Which will automatically increase the story views.
 
that’s pretty normal after a big follower spike, especially if many came from viral reels and don’t watch stories yet.
try posting more

Stories always get less engagement than your posts.So before posting stories,make sure that when and how you have to post.Observe your followers that when they are free and how they want to visualise stories.
 
A big follower increase doesn't always translate into story views immediately. I'd test more interactive features like polls questions and short behind the scenes content. Also posting when your US audience is most active may help improve initial reach.

this is most likely the reason—it is not necessary that they will be a follower of the reel but they will be the audience for the story. I would spend two weeks warming them up using storie nd polls.
 
Try making your stories more interactive with polls, questions and quick behind the scenes stuff, coz getting people to tap or reply can help bring them back to your stories more often.

You can only align your post time, with your target audience's leisure time in order to get maximum views.
 
With that kind of follower growth, I wouldn’t worry too much about the 1.5% yet. A lot of new followers may not be familiar with your content. I’d use Stories to create interaction：polls, questions, replies and tease your best posts instead of just reposting them.
 
that pretty normal after big follower jump especially when many them came from viral reels and not watching stories yet.keep posting regularly and give the new followers some time to become active
 
stories really reflect your core audiance. since those are all new followers, i think they are not very engaged with your account yet so stories are not getting enough reach. keep posting stories, potentially boost the story a few times.
 
stories have always less engagement than posts, people follow many people, most of them don't waste time checking up stories...

Yeah, I would start by engaging those new subscribers rather than measuring their engagment rate. Use of stories with questions and polls is an easy way to engage them.
